The competing shop took the opportunity to maliciously suppress the business of the Mu Family, ultimately leading to its inability to operate normally, forcing them to sell the shop. During this time, Mother sent me several letters, lamenting her difficulties and asking for my help. However, I remained silent and did not reply.
I discussed with Yuan Kai that we would only invite our neighbors and familiar people for the wedding banquet. Yuan Kai had been extremely busy lately, juggling hosting guests, decorating the house, and preparing for our marriage. With my condition weighing me down and my energy limited, I didn’t get too involved.
The streets were bustling with people, and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares filled the air. As Yuan Kai and I strolled along, we chatted softly while browsing the shops. Suddenly, I looked up and saw Qiu Qinrui approaching with Qiu An. He had lost a lot of weight, likely due to his injuries; his once-fitted clothes now hung loosely on him, making his gaunt face appear even colder.
Yuan Kai clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. “What bad luck; I can’t even enjoy shopping without running into someone I don’t want to see.” After saying that, he turned to me and added, “Just a cup of tea’s worth of time; any longer and I won’t agree.”
I gently reassured him, “Alright, alright.” Reluctantly, Yuan Kai stood by waiting for me while quietly warning that if he saw us getting too close, he would cause a scene. I couldn’t help but chuckle in response.
Once Yuan Kai left, Qiu Qinrui finally spoke up. “How have you been lately?”
“As you can see, not bad.”
Qiu Qinrui forced a bitter smile. “But I’ve been doing terribly. Mu Chun, have I lost you forever? Do you know? I often dream about you and Qiu An. When I wake up, my heart feels so empty.”
Before he could finish, I interrupted him softly. “Qiu Qinrui, I’m pregnant.”
His pupils visibly trembled as if he had received a tremendous shock. Qiu Qinrui smiled bitterly. “I see now; no wonder you’re unwilling to forgive me. Mu Chun, have I truly come too late?”
I smiled faintly. “Qiu Qinrui, I’m starting my new life now; you should do the same and take care of yourself.”
Hearing this, Qiu An cried out in distress, “No! I don’t want Mother to have another child! If Mother has another child, she won’t want me anymore!”
He cried out and tried to rush over, but was pulled back by Qiu Qinrui.
Five months later, I gave birth to a baby girl. She was so tiny, with eyes like Yuan Kai's, but her brows and features resembled mine.
The little one was very attached to me; she would cry whenever she couldn't see me. Yuan Kai adored her and named her Gu Munan.
Half a year ago, Yuan Kai and I held a wedding banquet, inviting only a few close friends and neighbors. That day, I received a red envelope without a signature. When I opened it, I found a substantial silver note inside, with the words "Hundred Years of Harmony" written on the envelope.
I looked up to see a figure in fine clothing in the distance, but when I turned my gaze back, the person had vanished behind the trees.
Yuan Kai walked over and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "What's wrong?"
I shook my head. "Nothing."
After that day, I never saw Qiu Qinrui again. I heard that his life gradually returned to normal; his parents began searching for a new wife for him, hoping someone could keep him company. However, he found every candidate unsatisfactory.
Eventually, he started looking for someone who resembled her among his blind dates. He met a woman whose features were similar to hers, but as they spent time together, he realized she was not her.
Later on, he encountered another woman with a similar silhouette to hers, yet still not her. He met women whose hands resembled hers, whose tones matched hers when they spoke, and even those who liked the same flowers she did—but none of them were her.
"Mu Chun," he lamented, "I have truly missed you in my life."
